Hi,

I'm new to Nginx and I'm trying to setup Nginx, FASTCGI and Drupal.

I'm using OpenVZ environment running Archlinux template and compiled Nginx from source using the latest stable release with default options. (Nginx 0.7.62)

Next I compiled spawn-cgi from source with the default options using the latest release. (spawn-fcgi v1.6.2 (ipv6) )

I installed PHP from the Arch extra repository. (5.2.10-3) I checked the PKGBUILD and it has FASTCGI support.

Downloaded the latest release of Drupal 6 and extracted to the target document root directory ( /var/www) and gave write permission to settings.php as described in the Drupal offical tutorial.

I spawn the fastcgi like this:

/usr/local/bin/spawn-fcgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9000 -u http -g http -f /usr/bin/php-cgi -P /var/run/fastcgi-php.pid

Spawn-fcgi spawns it successfully: spawn-fcgi: child spawned successfully: PID: 23465

I attached the necessary configuration files and logs. Any idea regarding the above problem is appreciated.

Greeting

Looking at this section:

[code]
location ~ \.php$ {
root /var/www;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass localhost:9000; # port where FastCGI processes were spawned
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/local/nginx/html/$fastcgi_script_name; # same path as above

}
[/code]

I'm a little confused. You define a document root at /var/www but "fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME" in a different location.

Try:

[code]
location ~ \.php$ {
root /path/to/document/root;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass localhost:9000; # port where FastCGI processes were spawned
fastcgi_index index.php;
}
[/code]

And add the following to the default fastcgi_params file:

[code]
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
[/code]

Yes i just noticed and modified that section like this:

location ~ \.php$ {
root /var/www;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass localhost:9000; # port where FastCGI processes were spawned
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www$fastcgi_script_name; # same path as above

}

I already tried like this:

location ~ \.php$ {
root /var/www;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass localhost:9000; # port where FastCGI processes were spawned
fastcgi_index index.php;
# fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/local/nginx/html/$fastcgi_script_name; # same path as above

}

But no joy.

fstcgi-params:
-------------------
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;

fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx/$nginx_version;

fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;

# PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;

I think It is all the same if I specify fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; in the php section or in fastcgi_params. Thought I tried the way you advised still the same error.

Greetings

My suggestions:

[list=1]
[*] Check the permissions all along the path to the script.
[*]What do the logs say now?
[*]Humor me and try doing it *exactly* as I suggested.
[/list]

I added
[code]fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;[/code]

to fscgi_params.

And using this PHP configuration:
--------------------------------------------
[code]
location ~ \.php$ {
root /var/www;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass localhost:9000; # port where FastCGI processes were spawned
fastcgi_index index.php;
}
[/code]


As you suggested. Sorry for that I just applied it.

Sorry but I don't understand which script's path should I check.

After some tweaking the problem came to the surface. It was the "open_basedir" option in php.ini. You should point that parameter to your document root directory like /var/www or /src/http. It should be the same as the "root" option in this section:

[code]
location ~ \.php$ {
[b]root /var/www;[/b]
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass localhost:9000; # port where FastCGI processes were spawned
fastcgi_index index.php;
}
[/code]


Thanks for the help.
